Stephanie: Spaceships and Laser Beams is an Etsy collective. We're a group of professional designers who have worked in the corporate world and have been itching to unleash our inner child.

In Flight: What came first, the blog or the shop?

Stephanie: The shop was first. The blog was a natural progression as there aren't really any out there dedicated solely to boys' parties. We wanted to have one place moms of little boys could go where they don't need to wade through pink fairy princess tea parties.

In Flight: What motivated you to make parties, just for boys?

Stephanie: We focus on parties for boys because sometimes it seems like everything adorable is for little girls. But parents of boys want to have some fun too. We call ourselves a no princess zone.
